Last Update: 11/30 7:46 am

LAREDO - An 8-year-old murder case from Mexico is closed. U.S. authorities have deported an illegal immigrant who is wanted for the crime.

ICE agents say 44-year-old Angel Rivera-Benitez was living in Austin. He was arrested after U.S. Marshals provided information to immigration agents. A judge ordered him deported in October. Rivera-Benitez is accused of a 1993 shooting in Jalisco, Mexico.


U.S. authorities escorted him across an international bridge in Laredo last Friday and into the hands of Mexican authorities.
